Brace yourself: It was a Hoax

I know this is going to come as a complete surprise, folks. But the supposed Hate Crime against actor Jussie Smollett was a hoax.

[Insert shocked face here]

I know!

I’m so completely stunned by the news …

…Nope. I can’t even pretend to be surprised.

Two men are being questioned in relation to the so-called “attack.”

And they’re a couple of white Trump supporters.

Hahahahaha!

Just kidding!

Actually, they’re black.

And apparently at least one of them worked on Smollett’s show “Empire.”

According to Rob Elgas of ABC7 in Chicago, multiple sources have told them that police suspect that Smollett staged the attack with the help of these two men.

BREAKING: Multiple soucres tell @ABC7Chicago Eyewitness News Jussie Smollet and the 2 men who are being questioned by police staged the attack – allegedly because his character was being written out of the show Empire.

Now I understand why Smollett only provided the police with redacted phone records.

I mean, if you’re going to choreograph a hoax attack with the help of a couple other guys, the last thing you want is for the police to follow up on those phone numbers.

And here I thought the reason he did that was to hide the fact that he wasn’t on the phone with his manager.

At this point, it appears more likely he was hiding the phone calls between him and his hoax crime supporting actors.

MORE: Someone familiar with the investigation says Smollet was a no-show for an interview earlier today with detectives. All of this coming hours after Smollett spoke to @GMA speaking out in his first media interview taking aim at those who doubted his story.

This is a sickening and outrageous attack, and horribly, it's the latest of too many hate crimes against LGBTQ people and people of color. We are all responsible for condemning this behavior and every person who enables or normalizes it. Praying for Jussie and his family. https://t.co/eylvxhLT0u

Personally, I don’t want folks to sugar-coat the rise in hoax crimes myself.

But something tells me AOC and the rest of these gullible halfwits with trip all over themselves to not just sugar-coat but completely gloss over this latest in a long line of hoax crimes.

I’m thinking none of these folks will bother issuing a retraction.

The hate crime gets attention — so long as it makes Trump and his supporters look bad.

But the hoax crime? That will be quickly flushed down the memory hole.

1) I hope they fry him on filing a false police report.
2) Did he claim they recognized him? Otherwise, Miss AOC, how would they know he was gay so that this is a homophobic attack? Did AOC just assume his sexuality? Or assume that his “attackers” assumed his sexuality? Hell, in today’s democratic day and age, how could they even be sure he was a male, let alone a gay male? Did they ask him what he identified as before they slipped the noose around his neck?
